Update: 40 Things Before I'm 40....
Oh, snap!
It's May!
How did that happen?
It also means I'm 6 months away from the big 4-0. And it also means I'm 6 months away from completing this list. I'm not doing too badly....actually!
Here's the update.
5. Go on a trip to somewhere I've never been (airport layovers don't count).
--In May we're going up to the North Shore...someplace I've never been! Photos to come after the trip! We're staying in a bed & breakfast....yum!
9. Pay off my credit card and shred it when it's paid off
--DONE! D....O....N....E....done! Whoooo! (and the cards have been shredded well before I paid it off so that I couldn't add to the debt).
14. Go out to the Split Rock Light House on Lake Superior
--Doing this in May!
16. Research my family tree and find out more on my dad's father (he was adopted and we have very little information on his biological family).
--I've hit a serious dead end with this one. But! I did find out more about my grandma's family (my dad's mom) and discovered that I am able to be a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution!
19. Try every drink on the Caribou Coffee menu
--Seriously, people. This one is a no brainer. DONE! And they've added new drinks....and yep! DONE!
23. See a shuttle launch
--We actually made plans to go in April, but with my new job we couldn't do it. DARN IT!
25. Read the entire Harry Potter series again
--DONE
28. Go to a Minnesota Orchestra Concert
--DONE! We did this right after my birthday!
31. Take at least one course online and finish it
--I wrote this when I worked for the online university where I could take classes for free. I don't work there now, so this one may be a challenge to find something I like. Sadly, my new school is a state run school, which means I'm union, which means I can't take classes for free for 3 years. So....any ideas?
33. Own something with the new UND nickname (I don't have to like it...)
--Well. This may not happen due to the fact that the ND House and Senate have blocked the name change!!
34. Learn to make artisan bread
--DONE! I have photos to post (once I download them)...
36. Make a birthday calendar and send cards to those who have a birthday
--Done(calendar) and In progress (on the cards). I have been doing this throughout the year!
38. Make 100 handmade greeting cards
--DONE!
40. Watch every episode of Friends (believe it or not, have not seen them all...)
--I'm on Season 4 right now!
To be clear, this update was more for me than anyone else, because I needed a swift kick in the rear-end on this list!

It looks like you're on your way!
m.
I've got free tix to Split Rock that are good until May 31. Let me know how many you need and I will send them your way. Or stop in on the way up and pick them up.
LOVE IT!!! You're knocking them out!
...me?... I never even got around to MAKING A LIST!!!! ... how sad is that?
Wow, you're good. I always start lists or month-long projects and just lose interest soon after I start. Keep at it! I love that making 100 handmade greeting cards was on the list. Makes me want to get my rear in gear and get on with my stationery projects.
I'll complete #31 for you... because I love you more than my luggage!
